The transformation and convergence of media, information, technology, art, culture, business, and entertainment has created a global growth market that is reorienting the ways in which we learn about ourselves and others, conduct business, express ourselves, and play. The Integrative Media major uses integrated product development as a conceptual framework. Simulating real working environments, students will come together to work in teams, combining various skills to fill core positions: production manager, producer, director, art director, editor, motion designer, writer, interactive guru, coder, animator, f/x artist, etc..., as in a production studio. Students will develop a significant portfolio to present to prospective employers within deadline-oriented, high-end studio environments as in feature film, broadcast, interactive, government, corporate, and independent production companies.
